Celebrity Baby Names - F.A.Q. Volume II

Q: I've heard that Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband Chris Martin named their daughter Apple. Are there many celebrity baby girl names named after fruits and vegetables?

A: Thanks to Bob Geldof's daughter, Peaches, Paltrow and Martin's daughter, Apple, isn't alone in the fruit basket. The closest any of the other celebrity baby girl names are to Apple and Peaches is Coco Riley, like the cocoa bean which produces chocolate. Coco Riley is the daughter of David Arquette and Courteney Cox. While fruits and vegetables aren't all that popular, there are other celebrity baby girl names in the vein of "things that grow," or "places where things grow." Kevin Costner's daughter in named Lily while Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis's daughter is a whole bouquet: Lily-Rose Melody. And, let's not forget Jessica Lange and Mikhail Baryshnikov's daughter Daisy. Chris Rock's daughter Zahra Savannah is named after an entire eco-system.

Q: What about the boys? Is there a "fruit or vegetable" celebrity baby name boys have?

A: While the baby boys have escaped the fruits and vegetables category, a celebrity baby name boys aren't safe from is the "places and things" category. Rock star Slash has two children, Cash Anthony (of the things category) and London Emilio (of the places category). Ron Howard also has a son named Dallas.

Melissa Mathison and Harrison Ford have two sons, Willard and Benjamin, which are oddly reminiscent of the 1971 Horror Film "Willard," where the title character is a social misfit with a rodent sidekick named Ben.

Q: What other types of celebrity baby girl names are popular?

A: Another group of celebrity baby girl names that seem to be moderately popular are seasons. Mia Farrow's daughter Summer Song is a perfect example, and so is Jermaine Jackson's daughter, Autumn. Other celebrity baby girl names that you see popping up are almost anything that could be considered "poetic." Kenny Anderson's daughter Lyric Chane sounds like she might be poetic, as does one of Mia Farrow's other daughters Lark Song.

Q: Is there a celebrity baby name boys have that isn't totally wacky?

A: Not all of their names are off the wall. One celebrity baby name boys have in common is Dylan. Pierce Brosnan and Keely Shaye Smith have a son named Dylan Thomas. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones have a son named Dylan Michael. Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson have Dylan Jagger. Another celebrity baby name boys seem to have is Sam. Lauren Bacall, Sam Shepard and Jessica Lange, as well as Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan, all have sons named Sam.
